Outpost Lodge is located at 37A Serengeti Road, in the residential district of Arusha, Tanzania. The establishment is not star-rated. It positions itself as a modestly sized urban accommodation, firmly rooted in the city that serves as the departure point for safaris to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Kilimanjaro. Arusha town center is accessible on foot in around fifteen minutes from the hotel.

Why stay here

We selected Outpost Lodge for its practical location in Arusha, an essential city when organizing safari circuits in Northern Tanzania. It is particularly well-suited for travelers seeking functional accommodation for nights before and after safari, without the need to stay in the strict town center. Its location on Serengeti Road facilitates connections with local operators and agencies.

We recommend it to travelers who prioritize convenient access to Arusha's services — currency exchange, restaurants, bars — in close proximity, while enjoying a quiet base before heading to the parks. Groups or families can also find suitable configurations thanks to the available triple and quadruple rooms.

Atmosphere

Outpost Lodge offers an urban setting, in a mixed neighborhood of Arusha where shops, bars and accommodations coexist. The atmosphere is laid-back, typical of a stopover establishment. The Escape II Arusha bar is literally located at the hotel's address on Serengeti Road, which brings activity to the surroundings in the evening.

Worth knowing: Arusha sits at approximately 1,400 meters altitude. This elevation can surprise travelers arriving from the coast or Europe — remember to stay hydrated and plan for an acclimatization night if you move directly into physical activity.

The rooms

Outpost Lodge offers four room configurations: single, double or twin, triple and quadruple. This range accommodates solo travelers, couples, small groups or families. Double rooms can accommodate a child as an additional guest; note that children in their own room are charged at adult rates. Details of amenities by category are not currently available.

Around the area

The Serengeti Road neighborhood concentrates several useful services within reach. For currency exchange, Kadoo Bureau De Change (Sokoine Road), Furaha Safari Bureau De Change (Boma Road, near the Clock Tower) and Marangu Forex Bureau (Pangani Street) are all within a radius of approximately one kilometer — it is recommended to compare rates.

For dining, George's Tavern on Haile Selassie Road (rated 4.5/5 on Google) is a popular spot for locals and travelers alike. Asili Resort offers a more relaxed atmosphere. In the evening, Escape II Arusha bar is right next to the hotel, and The Location Arusha on Jandu Road offers a very local vibe. For wellness, Olivia Spa Arusha (rated 4.8) and Indulgence Spa and Sauna on Nelson Mandela Road (rated 4.8) are two easily accessible options. The agency Leopard Tours LTD, on Nelson Mandela Road (rated 4.7), can be useful for organizing excursions in the area.
